Anker Taasti (Rasmussen) var lærersøn og blev student i 1949 og studerede teologi ved Københavns Universitet inden han - efter at have læst hos Einar Juhl - søgte ind på Privatteatrenes Elevskole (Det Ny Teater) 1952-1955. Han var på studierejser til London, Berlin og Paris. Han debuterede i 1955 som Richmond i "Cant" på Det ny Teater. Siden havde han engagementer på Riddersalen, Det ny Teater og Ungdommens Teater. TV-Teatrets opførelse af af "Seks kammerater" banede vejen for hans ansættelse på Odense Teater, hvortil han var knyttet i næsten 40 år. Anker Taasti medvirkede i mange af teatrets store opsætninger og var for publikum een af den fynske landsdelsscenes kendte navne siden han som ung skuespiller i 1962 kom til Odense og blandt andet oplevede at spille sammen med teatrets store legendariske skuespiller Finn Lassen. Han var samtidig sine kollegers tillidsmand og prøvede også kræfter med instruktørrollen på teatrets værkstedsscene. Gennem årene har han også haft opgaver på en række andre teatre, ligesom han har medvirket i radio og TV. Sin sidste større rolle på den fynske landsdelsscene havde han i "Spillemand på en tagryg". Efter at han stoppede det faste engagement på grund af alder har han været free-lance skuespiller, bl.a. med oplæsning af digteren Nis Pedersen. Han har udført adskillige roller på TV, radio og film, bl.a. Den sidste vinter, Farlig ungdom, Soldaterkammerater på efterårsmanøvre og Det skete på Møllegården. Anker Taasti var gennem mange år gift med sin kollega, Kirsten Saerens, og parret havde tre børn, hvoraf datteren skuespillerinde Sanne Saerens Taasti er ansat på Odense Teater.

The Search Form


About the Movie Section

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).

Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.

Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)

While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).

Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
